Jerry Seinfeld Slammed on Twitter for ‘Black’s Life Matters’ Joke

Yesterday, Jerry Seinfeld took to Twitter to promote the newest episode of his web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It stars Lewis Black, in an Acura, and Seinfeld ended his Tweet by writing “Black’s Life Matters.” There were lots of people who thought that the joke was funny, and no big deal, but others took offense to it, and let him know about it.
New!
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
Lewis Black.
Black’s life matters.

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura This is worse than the finale of “Seinfeld” which I still don’t like.

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura Who’s writing your tweets now? The Breitbart humor section staff?

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura I love the sitcom and comedians in cars but Jerry is still a transparently pompous asshole

@JerrySeinfeld Racist. Balding. Non-Comedian. That is all. @MrGeorgeWallace Where u at?

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura I guess your “non-PC” culture means diminishing those that are 2.5x more likely to be shot by a cop than white people.

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura how insensitive! Just for a laugh …not funny!

@JerrySeinfeld @Acura Perhaps poor taste to use a legitimate movement for a pun about a white guy
